New manager


Recommended Posts

Just got this from the M.E.N

 

Iain Dowie one and only for Latics...maybe?

US-based owner Simon Corney, speaking from New York, says that he is yet to decide who will replace City legend Paul Dickov, who vacated the Boundary Park hot seat last week.

 

“Iain is the only person I have been in contact with with regards to the manager’s job,” he said.

 

“But there is no number one choice. We are taking it day by day so don’t rule anything in  or out.”

 

Dowie, a former Northern Ireland international, led Oldham to the play-offs in 2002-03, albeit with the aid of former owner Chris Moore’s not-inconsiderable backing.

 

He is the fans’ favourite to take over from Dickov, who left following a league run of one point in 27.

 

But one issue could be his wage demands.

 

Bolton-based Dowie’s son, Oliver, tweeted last week: “Good to see dad’s fans’ favourite for the Oldham job. He’s been waiting for a long-term project like this for a while.”

Anyone else thinking we wont be making an announcement until after the Everton game? Its clearly going to be a tough game and what better way to pick up the fans and players by making an announcement on the manager after? If we win, it keeps the euphoria going, if we lose, it picks us back up?

Not a bad tactic.

In all fairness I think naming a manager before the Everton game would seriously rock the boat, however, if we were to win.............then what?

 

Then we keep Philliskirk on as caretaker. I can't think of a safer pair of hands that him currently and there's no time limit on us hiring a new manager so if he keeps winning then it would be foolish to replace him.

So Corney has been in contact with Dowie but with no one else and there is no number one choice.

 

The only rumours that have any basis are those to do with Dowie. Corney is happy to take his time presumably because our next league 1 game is the Tuesday after Everton.

 

Why bother. Take another week in New York. Leave it all to TP and PG!
